Los Osos Skatepark on California’s Central Coast
The Los Osos Skatepark is a nice skatepark located in Los Osos Community Park. It has a pretty open layout with some tall vert, a couple bowls and lots of banked turns and smooth transitions. This skatepark is great for some mellow cement surfing on longboard, for shredding the pool bowl, and it's an all around great place to learn the basics of skateboarding.
